The M.A. program is STEM-designated and offers a rigorous curriculum with quantitative training in economics. It builds on the excellence of the Ph.D. program to provide the technical foundations to do a Ph.D. in economics or work in government, central banking, international organizations, or economic consultancies.
The program is a nine-month program (August to May). It starts in mid-August with a math course and follows closely the first-year Ph.D. courses. The M.A. degree requires successful completion of coursework and of a master’s thesis in the form of a research project due in early-May.
An undergraduate degree in Economics is not required, but a strong quantitative background is expected, with a minimum of one year of calculus and one semester of both linear algebra and mathematical statistics.
Curriculum
Students are required to fulfill 30 credits of study, divided into coursework and research work. Coursework is made up of 14 half-semester courses and research work consists of one half-semester master-thesis seminar.

Fall:
ECO 471: Modern Value Theory I (two half semesters)

Successful completion of coursework requires passing grades in all courses. Students who receive one letter C grade will be placed on probation and two C’s result in automatic separation from the program, as per AS&E’s policies. Successful completion of the research project will be determined by a committee of three faculty members.
